I don't believe this to be a bug, but a behavior of the mozilla web browser in linux. AJAX divs, and the like, simply don't go over the flash plugin in z-index behavior because of the way in which the free flash plugin prints to the screen. I've read about this many times.

Here is a link that explains a work around for this:

Actually it is a duplicate of bug 49613 :) FYI hawkeye this is fixed in Flash 10 which is in Ubuntu 8.10 and later, so upgrading your Ubuntu version should address this.
